Migrator for Notes to Exchange 4.17 - Administration Guide

SSDM Statistics Collection Wizard

Introduction

The SSDM Statistics Collection Wizard defines a task that will gather migration statistics written by the Self-Service Desktop Migrator (SSDM, and loads the data to the SQL database, so you can track the progress of a migration project.

NOTE: The SSDM Statistics Collection Wizard can collect user statistics only if the Post user logs to the central directory check box has been selected in the Shared Directories Configuration screen in Notes Migration Manager. If that check box has been left cleared, the per-desktop migration program will have written its log files to individual users' local temp directories, where they will be unavailable to the wizard.

Each time a user runs the Self-Service Desktop Migrator, the program writes its run statistics to the Directory for central log and status files, specified in the Shared Directories Configuration screen of Notes Migration Manager. This Wizard gathers those statistics and adds them to the SQL database, so they will appear in the Project View screen of Notes Migration Manager.

NOTE: Statistics reported by Migrator for Notes to Exchange are based on uncompressed data sizes provided by the Notes APIs. The APIs extract data in compressed form and provide the data to Migrator for Notes to Exchange in an uncompressed state. Data volumes reported by Migrator for Notes to Exchange are often higher than the values observed natively in Notes or transferred over the network to the migration servers.

Field definitions and application notes for the wizard’s screens appear in the sections that follow.

Wizard process screens

The following sections describe the screens that may be displayed and the configuration settings for each screen.

Customize Configuration

This screen, which lets you edit the Task Parameters for this task, appears only if the Advanced Settings option is selected on the View menu in Notes Migration Manager. To enable or disable this capability to edit Task Parameters:

The Advanced Settings option is a toggle that determines whether the wizards will let you open and edit Task Parameters. If the feature is enabled, the Customize Configuration screen is displayed at the start of the screen sequence for any Wizard that offers this feature.

Task Parameters are edited as if the parameters were stored in an INI file, although the parameters are stored as part of the task definition within the SQL database. The Customize Configuration feature copies the current parameter settings from the SQL database into a text document in Windows Notepad so you can use the Notepad text-editing features to change parameter values or add new parameter specifications.

NOTE: Some parameters in different sections share the same keyname, so it is very important that parameter values be entered and edited in the correct sections.

Notes Migration Manager copies the new parameter values back into the SQL database.
